1. Canadian soldiers.
We have come to the point of honouring our soldiers that are doing such a good job in a very difficult Afghanistan. We must however take one more step in the recognition process. We must recognize the training and experience of these soldiers. We must welcome them back into mainstream Canadian society, not only as heroes, but as men who have been well trained in leadership and who deserve and can handle important positions in our economy and government.
2. Dead Sea Scrolls
Jordan claimed rights over the Dead Sea are very strange. The West Bank and Jerusalem were disputed territories, legally assigned to the Jewish people, not Jordanian territories, when the Dead Sea Scrolls were found. The West Bank was then illegally annexed by Jordan. Then the West Bank was won in a defensive war by Israel. Jordan then refused to take it back in exchange for a peace treaty with Israel. Surely that is a very weak claim. In addition the claim seems to be just part of a harrassment plan by Abbas and his anti-Israel Palestinian authority. They have tried to boycott Israeli products, Universities and professors. They have tried to jail visiting Israeli diplomats for war crimes. And of course Hamas, the other partner to Fatah, has tried to weaken Israel by illegal targetting it with suicide bombers and ineffective but harmful missiles. The suggstion that the Dead Sea Scrolls belongs to Jordan is just one more illegitimate attempt to embarrass Israel
